Surprise Engagement Party

John and I were very much surprised by an engagement party Saturday!

I had been ill for the past week and it seems like everyone was freaking big time that I might not make it. I missed SMOLT and then only attended SB virtually. My voice was first a shoe in for a 976 hotline then it sounded like a boy going thru puberty.
It made more sense now why my boss, co-workers and everyone in the library was screaming at me to go home and rest when I crawled into work wednesday for a few hours.

Friday John came over and found me lying on the couch. After poking me with a stick to verify I was alive, he took very good care of me, did dinner and kept an eye on me. Saturday I rested more and dragged myself out of the couch to attend a friend’s housewarming party. After that I was led to belive we were going out to dinner with babs, cj, julie and her boy joey so we could check out I mean talk to joey.
Well, when several people left the housewarming party at the same time I got a little suspicious.

We left the hosuewarming and arrived at McNears. Babs handed me a lovely bouquet and some flowers for John. At that point my suspicions were confirmed and John was well … he figured it out when we walked upstairs and found many many friends waiting for us! And MEAT!

We felt loved, it was great! I’m just sorry I was so sick and frightened people that I might be flaking.
